There is no bird similar to an ostrich in Australia. The tallest bird is the emu and, although it is a ratite (one of a particular group of Flightless Birds) like the ostrich, it is very different in appearance and behaviour.

Ostrich is not a name used for any bird in Australia.

There are two large flightless birds in Australia - the emu and the cassowary. They are ratites, like the ostrich, but they are not directly related to the ostrich.

There are two large, flightless birds in Australia: the emu and the southern cassowary. The emu is native to the continent, whilst the southern cassowary is also found in New Guinea and the Aru Islands.
